Am I the only who struggles to put together simple summer outfits? As effortless and fun as it seems, I find it more complicating to come up with easy outfit ideas for this season. Throwing on a top and bottom just doesn’t work for me, or at least, I usually don’t fully feel like myself by just throwing on anything. After looking into this a bit more, i’ve figured out that a good solution is to find my own sense of style first, then work my way up with cool summer fashion trends.
I’ve spend some time browsing through some of my favorite pieces in general and have come across some interesting styling ideas. Many may say this is super basic. However, for those of us who usually overdress and prefer layering, this blogpost may be perfect for you. The following list of clothing are a few essentials and basics to help elevate your summer wardrobe with common essentials this year.

If you’re starting off with summer fashion and still figuring out your style, start adding some tank tops and oversized tees in neutral colors to your closet as a start. These will serve as basic closet essentials that will expose you to new ideas to pair up with.

Baggy pants are some of the most comfortable pieces of clothing, yet so stylish for any occasion.

You can also look chic by wearing heels with them instead of a t-shirt.
